I apologize for the 1% who did not treat you in a cool fashion. PDX is known as being the most polite / friendly city in the U.S., so it appears we are not perfect. ;-)
Glad you enjoyed your stay in Stumpdown, come back soon!

"It is with a heavy heart that we bid farewell to Wil Wheaton," the assistant director said. I threw my hands up in the air and yelled into the sky: "NOOOOOOO!!!"

I would recommend the Baghdad theatre where you can have pizza and beer while watching a matinee. :) If that doesn't suit your fancy, any of the McMenamin's pubs are cool.

Hello Wil! One of my friends used to write for White Wolf games, so when I introduced him to Powell's, well, he became slightly catatonic. Lower lip quivered, brown eyes welled up in gratitude, and this look of utter hot daaaamn was stamped on his face. I think I almost heard him mutter a prayer of some sort.
Anyhoooo, I always get a kick of showing newcomers one our town's biggest pride and joys.
So glad you are enjoying your stay in the Rose City (or Stumptown, whichever you prefer) and I hope you come back to visit us weirdos again soon. :)

Kind Regards,
